Kevin Durant is a ‘Little B*tch!’? Rude Dallas Mavs Fans Learn ‘We’re Not Circus Animals’
DALLAS - You don’t like Kevin Durant? That is your right as a fan, though in the next breath you should admit how quickly your attitude would change if he was scoring 30 points per game. …
Almost as quickly as the two dopey fans changed their tune when after yelling “KD, you’re a little b*tch!” at the Phoenix Suns star, he spun around to confront them …
And “fans” Luke Brawner and a female companion launched Into a stammering explanation while repeatedly urging KD to accept an extended hand as an acceptance of either an apology … or as an acceptance of their view that they have every right to scream obscenities at strangers.
“They don’t look at us as humans sometimes,” said Durant after the Mavs’ 123-113 win over the Suns. “So when you get a chance to let a person know how you feel real quick, then they’ll backtrack,” Durant said. “See, we’re animals, we’re circus acts, we’re entertainers to them instead of real people.”
Brawner and his friend learned differently when before the game KD quizzed the pair about their motivation.
The woman tried to shake his hand. The man oddly noted, “I host a podcast on sports!”
There is apparently some twisty background here, as it seems the pair lost a loved one four years ago who used to call KD a “b*tch” while watching TV or appearing on the long-dormant podcast.
So, yelling “Little B*tch!” at the 10-time All-Star Durant was somehow comforting to the pair? And was some sort of tribute to their deceased friend?
That is indeed the position of Brawner, who KD opted to not have ejected from the AAC.
"Ironically, I do think that the moment did honor my friend," said Brawner, who in an interview on the Mavs’ flagship station’s The Ben and Skin Show.did concede that their “joke” “forgot the humanity of (Durant).” “Wherever people go after you die, wherever he is out in the ether, he was laughing - hard - and loving it.
“We had an amazing night. It didn't ruin our night in any way. …”
That’s lovely(?!). We all mourn in our own ways, we suppose. But yelling “B*tch!” at a perfect stranger, knowing full-well that you are violating rules of human civility while also empowered by knowing that your victim can’t really do anything in retaliation?
At the risk of dropping to the level of Brawner and friend here? That’s kind of a b*tchmove, y’all.
